Band Members: Gene Conklin: Vocals, guitars, bass, piano, organ, accordian, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and percussion. The songs you are about to hear are informal demos, and yes, that's me playing all of the instruments. I grew up in Rutland, Vermont but I currently reside in North Adams, Massachusetts, which by the way, is home to the largest art space in the entire U.S.A., The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Visit www.massmoca.org for more information.
